Future London: Technology & Built Environment
The Knowledge Quarter and London Society presents Future London, a new public series exploring the forces shaping London's future - and the choices the city must make to get there.
Future London continues with a conversation on how technology is transforming the way we design, build, and experience space across the capital.
London is being reshaped - not just by cranes and concrete, but by data, sensors, and digital tools that are changing how spaces are planned, used, and understood.
From smart buildings and digital twins to AI-assisted planning and adaptive reuse of underused spaces, technology is opening up new possibilities for how the city grows.
But who benefits from a smarter built environment, and who gets left behind? Can innovation help London build faster, greener, and more equitably, or will it entrench the decisions that have already failed so many communities?
PANEL DISCUSSION: What Does the Future of London's Built Environment Look Like - and Who Is It Built For?

Part of Future London, a Spring 2026 series brought to you by the Knowledge Quarter and The London Society, the event brings together voices from across architecture, planning, technology, and civic life alongside Londoners with a stake in how their city evolves.
